The relationships between structure and function of plant communities in the desert steppe. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol
Assessing the relationships between spatial and temporal structures and functions of plant communities is an effective way to understand the changing dynamics of plant communities in specific environments. In this study, we investigated the response of structural and functional stabilities of plant communities to stocking rate in the desert steppe over

Ecosystem responses to warming and watering in typical and desert steppes [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractGlobal warming is projected to continue, leading to intense fluctuations in precipitation and heat waves and thereby affecting the productivity and the relevant biological processes of grassland ecosystems. Here, we determined the functional responses to warming and altered precipitation in both typical and desert steppes.

The asymmetric responses of carabid beetles to steppe fragmentation in Northwest China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
It is acknowledged that human activities have initiated and increased steppe habitat loss and fragmentation in Northwest China. Carabid beetles are often used as bioindicators of environmental change because they are extremely sensitive to disturbance ...

Impact of Extreme Climate on the NDVI of Different Steppe Areas in Inner Mongolia, China

Remote Sensing, 2022
The frequency of extreme climate events has increased resulting in major changes to vegetation in arid and semi-arid areas. We selected 12 extreme climate indices and used trend analysis and multiple linear regression models to analyze extreme climate ...

Capacity of grass species shoots to recovery of steppe and desert steppe zones

Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
In this research study we determined regeneration capacity of the dominate vegetative plants and shoot formation in steppe and desert-steppe zones. To determine shoot regeneration we selected Stipa krylovii from the steppe zone and Stipa gobica, Cleistogenes songorica from desert steppe zones.
